A MASS migrant riot in Calais which saw police and security officers seriously injuted allowed 100 immigrants to storm the Channel Tunnel – and two of them actually walked the entire length and made it to Folkstone.

Amid last night’s violent chaos two men slipped passed security along with around 100 others, many of whom made it more than a third of the way through the tunnel before they were picked up by police.

Eurotunnel said migrants were throwing stones and knocked security guards to the ground as they rampaged through the secure zone in an attempt to reach the UK.

The Iranian pair managed to avoid the high-voltage line and trains travelling at 100mph to walk the 31-mile length in under 12 hours early on Saturday morning.

It's a massive invasion and intrusion by a very large and coordinated group of migrants

Kent police have named the men as Payam Moradi Mirahessari, 25, and Farein Vahdani, 20, who were remanded in custody when they appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court, accused of obstructing an engine or carriage using the railway.

Twenty-three others were arrested during the incursion, while seven migrants, two police officers and a security guard were treated for injuries sustained during the brawl.

Eurotunnel said a "very large and coordinated group of migrants" had managed to break through fences, describing it as an "organised attack".

But Ukip MEP Mike Hookem said the incident showed that "no one has a proper grip on the migrant crisis in Calais".

He told Breitbart: "These people walked a distance five miles longer than the London marathon but no one thought to stop them, not even the tunnel security who are supposed to have ramped up their efforts.

"We aren't talking about desperate refugees here - they're camped out in Lebanon in unsanitary conditions. These are economic migrants, with some Daesh [ISIS] extremists sprinkled amongst them, who want to either take what they can from our country or cause it harm.

"Lorry drivers have been keeping me informed of what is going on in Calais and they say the migrants keep trying to stow away and break into their trucks all the while the left wing media are proclaiming a 'humanitarian crisis' and ignoring the plight of people trying to earn a living and keep British consumers in food and other goods which businesses rely on the haulage industry for."

A Eurotunnel spokesman said: "It's a massive invasion and intrusion by a very large and coordinated group of migrants. They are being gathered up by the police authorities."

He added: "It's clearly an organised attack when it comes in such a large number, there are over 100 in this one group.

"They arrived together and in a well-organised manner broke through the fences and all clearly knew where they were going.

"They ran through the terminal, knocking some staff to the ground and throwing stones at them.

"There are some minor injuries to staff and also two police officers. They were treated at the scene by paramedics."
